Plants need bacteria in order to take up and use which element?
Nitrogen. Bacteria can convert or "fix" insoluable Nitrites into soluable Nitrates, which plants can absorb
What are three products of nitrogen fixation?
Ammonia, nitrates, nitrites
Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are the two major genera of nitrogen-fixing bacteria true or false?
False. Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are not nitrogen-fixing bacteria. They are both involved in the nitrification process, where they convert ammonia to nitrites and nitrites to nitrates, respectively. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium and Azotobacter are responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by plants.
Diphenylamine will turn blue in the presence of?
nitrites.
What role would algae and plants play in an ecosystem?
Algae and plants are primary producers that play a crucial role in an ecosystem by converting sunlight and nutrients into energy through photosynthesis. They provide food and oxygen for other organisms in the ecosystem, forming the base of the food chain. Additionally, they help regulate the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, as well as providing habitats for various organisms.

What Converts dead matter to soil nitrates or nitrites?
The process of decomposition by decomposers such as bacteria and fungi converts dead matter into soil nitrates or nitrites. These organisms break down organic material, releasing nitrogen in the form of nitrates or nitrites as a byproduct, which can then be used by plants for growth.
The process by which nitrites and nitrates are produced by bacteria in the soil?
Nitrites and nitrates are produced by nitrifying bacteria in the soil through a process known as nitrification. Ammonia or ammonium ions are first converted to nitrites by Nitrosomonas bacteria, and then further converted to nitrates by Nitrobacter bacteria. These nitrates can then be taken up by plants as a source of nitrogen for growth.
How can N be removed from wastewater treatment?
Nitrobacter play an essential role in aquaponics. Nitrosomonas bacteria first convert ammonia into nitrites. Nitrobacter convert the nitrites into nitrates, which are readily absorbed by the plants. Read more at the link below.
What do plants use nitrites and nitrates to form?
Sometimes proteins and sometimes the nitrogenous bases in their genetic material (DNA/RNA)
How do we get the nitrogen we need?
We get the nitrogen our bodies need by eating food.
What is the functions of nitrosomonas and nitrobacter bacteria and where they can be found?
Nitrosomonas bacteria convert ammonia into nitrites in the nitrification process, while Nitrobacter bacteria convert nitrites into nitrates. They are commonly found in soil and aquatic environments where ammonia is present, such as in wastewater treatment plants, soil with high nitrogen content, and aquatic ecosystems.
How do plants get nitrogen from the soil?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in nodules on plant roots (legume plants; beans, peas, alfalfa) convert nitrogen in the air (ammonia) to nitrites then nitrates which is then absorbed by plants through their roots.
Are nitrates products of decomposition needed and used by plants?
Not exactly. The important product of decomposition is ammonium (NH4+). This is then converted into nitrates and nitrites by nitrifying bacteria, which is then assimilated by the root systems of plants.
What causes nitrits in urine?
According to WebMD: Nitrites. Bacteria that cause a urinary tract infection (UTI) make an enzyme that changes urinary nitrates to nitrites. Nitrites in urine show a UTI is present.
What are three products of nitrogen fixation?
Ammonia, nitrates, nitrites
What are nitrites in your your urine?
positive
